The Image Inserter plugin for Obsidian simplifies the process of searching and inserting images from multiple sources, including Unsplash, Pixabay, and Pexels, directly into your notes or frontmatter. It allows users to download images locally or use remote URLs, specify image quality, and set default sizes and orientations. The plugin also supports inserting image metadata into frontmatter with customizable formats, making it compatible with various markdown-driven workflows.
